Notes

 

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Steam or boil the vegetables until they’re soft.
  • If using raw shrimp or fish, cook them lightly to eliminate any potential pathogens.

Step 2: Blend the Mixture

  • Combine the cooked fish, shrimp, or worms with the vegetables in a blender.
  • Add optional ingredients like spirulina powder, garlic, or fish oil. Blend until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3: Add Gelatin

  • Prepare gelatin according to the package instructions. Slowly incorporate the blended mixture into the gelatin, stirring to combine.

Step 4: Set the Mixture

  • Pour the mixture into ice cube trays or spread it onto a flat dish lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate until it sets.

Step 5: Cut and Store

  • Once set, cut the mixture into small, fish-sized portions. Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two months.
